Every 18 hours a New Yorker dies waiting for an organ transplant. That’s partially because there aren’t enough New Yorkers registered as organ donors…only 35% of us are. October 10th marks the fifth annual “Organ Donor Enrollment Day” and WRCR listeners know, our own heart-transplant recipient Roxanne Watson of Nanuet will be out and about registering as many donors as she can, as she did five years ago at RCC for the first annual event…
While a recent study showed that 92% of New Yorkers support organ and tissue donation, not enough have registered. To learn more, please visit EnrollmentDay.org. You can also hear Roxanne’s show and ask her about it, every Wednesday morning following the 9 o’clock news.
